Other: David Wilson. I like the 4 you've listed too, but Wilson is "newer" and doing some great stuff. Others you haven't mentioned: that I really like Sarah Kawahara, Kevin Cottam, Alexander Zhulin, and Christopher Dean.

Tom Dickson...very impressive, and expressive choreography.
The thing I like most about him is that he has a broad range of styles to suit each skater and their music. it isnt cookie cutter stuff.
who is Wilson? who has he choreographed for?

Gotta agree with you there! Dickson's programs for Ryan Jahnke, Matt Savoie and Jordan Brauninger are challenging yet suited to their individual styles and talents.

who is Wilson? who has he choreographed for?

Canada's David Wilson is doing some of the best choreo for Canadian skaters right now, IMO -- Jeff Buttle, Joannie Rochette, Cynthia Phaneuf, Jessica Dubé, and the new junior pair of Jessica Dubé & Bryce Davison. Wilson also used to choreograph for Brian Orser and Sebastien Britten.

Umma out of the 4 on the poll I said Lori. I like her shes worked with alot of skaters that I admire. But over all I think I'm going to go with the majourity Mr Wilson is GREAT! The great thing about him is every program is different ya know. Its not like Morosova, you can look at a program and say thats Nic's cuz its all along the same lines except the music changes... Maybe not that bad but its really easy to pick up on...

Wow, I was not familiar with Wilson nor with Dickinson, but then again I've not been in the loop as of late.

I love Christopher Dean as well, but I don't think he's choreographing much for amateur skaters, is he?

Too bad we couldn't include Brian Wright, who passed on this year. :(

lily,

Tom Dickson is based at the New World Arena in Colorado Springs, CO. USFSA profile on Dickson from 2002:

I believe David Wilson is based somewhere in Quebec province?
